		<title>Goodbye Nigeria</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today is my last day at work.  I&#8217;m blessed to have met such amazing people&#8211;they&#8217;ll be in my heart forever (tear drop, tear drop).  I feel the need to tie up some loose ends and misconceptions that arose from my previous blogs.  I&#8217;m not perfect, and each day I learned something new.
 
1.)  Although I look Yoruba [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=divalutionary.wordpress.com&blog=3933570&post=78&subd=divalutionary&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Before moving to DC, my personal life hit a dead end.  Whining to my best guy friend that I was sick of lyinasscheatin brothas, he hit me with a piece of advice resembling a bag of bricks.   He told me to get over it.  There are billions of people in this world, and we&#8217;re all sleeping [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=divalutionary.wordpress.com&blog=3933570&post=63&subd=divalutionary&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>All the players came from far and wide</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No matter the continent, Black men are born with two undeniable traits: the ability to talk shit and pick up women.  These traits are symbiotic an can often be seen working in tandem.  Today, I had the luxury of being pursued by two friends who put their skills to work.
 
As an American woman, my dreads [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=divalutionary.wordpress.com&blog=3933570&post=52&subd=divalutionary&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

I&#8217;ve been eating peanut butter by the spoonfuls all day.  I don&#8217;t even like peanut butter without jelly, but I found an ant the size of a roach in my only jar, so of course it went directly into the trash.  It&#8217;s out of heat-induced misery that my brain is telling me I actually enjoy [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=divalutionary.wordpress.com&blog=3933570&post=39&subd=divalutionary&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>The royal penis is clean your highness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, it&#8217;s this baby next door to my apartment.  I&#8217;ve only seen the child once, but have been disgusted by his presence since the first day of my arrival.  It&#8217;s not that I don&#8217;t like children&#8211;that&#8217;s very far from the truth.  I don&#8217;t like certain children, specifically those who are determined to wake me up in the middle of the night [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=divalutionary.wordpress.com&blog=3933570&post=20&subd=divalutionary&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I experienced a moment of clarity today.  Since my arrival in Nigeria, my ability to decipher the local versions of English has increased daily.  There&#8217;s a British version that they use in the office only when speaking to me, there&#8217;s an accent heavy colloquial version (very similar to ebonics), and then there&#8217;s the ethnic languages, primarily Igbo and Yoruba, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=divalutionary.wordpress.com&blog=3933570&post=15&subd=divalutionary&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Destined to Die in Nigeria</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Amoebic dysentery? Dengue Fever?  Malaria?  Whatever my ailment, I was surely destined to die in Nigeria.  While sipping sugar-free Red Bull and checking my email, my stomach began to churn.  The sensation was familiar, and I decided I could control the urge until I finished surfing the internet.  My body had different plans.  I suddenly felt like [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=divalutionary.wordpress.com&blog=3933570&post=7&subd=divalutionary&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Conflict-Free Yaki</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Upon my arrival at my internship the women engaged in a conversation concerning the authenticity of my hair.  Of course I was not included in this discussion.  Amid whispers and side glances, the most curious sister, herself wearing starter locks, approached me.  Calculating her steps, as if I was a lion in a cage, she asked &#8220;Is that&#8230;your [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=divalutionary.wordpress.com&blog=3933570&post=6&subd=divalutionary&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Where&#8217;s my lighter?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The power came back on.  While reading I heard a loud thud and there went the lights.  Totally unprepared, I scrambled for the flashlight that I had been wise enough to charge during the day.  Unfortunately, my foresight did not include switching it into &#8220;charge&#8221; mode, and it shut off within minutes.  Absent Peace Corps [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=divalutionary.wordpress.com&blog=3933570&post=5&subd=divalutionary&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Welcome</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the age of email, online bill pay, MySpace, Facebook, and ebay, I&#8217;ve decided to leave my cyber footprint yet again.  Using this blog to journal my summer in Nigeria, I expect to uncover America and learn things about myself that I take for granted.  Ironically, I&#8217;ve travelled to another continent to &#8220;find myself&#8221;.  Unavoidable comparisons and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=divalutionary.wordpress.com&blog=3933570&post=1&subd=divalutionary&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
